This Georgian reverse print on glass, titled La Bonne Mere, dates from the eighteenth century in the Regency style. The figurative genre scene within an oval vignette depicts a woman and children in a dark landscape setting with touches of gold and green, complemented by a coat of arms detail at the lower center. The piece is set within an original moulded wood frame finished in a light grey paint with visible wear from past overpainting. The frame features linear reeded detailing along its borders. The item measures 70 cm high and 55 cm wide. Suitable for placement above a sideboard in a living room, hallway or dining room, this artwork brings a period French chateau aesthetic to a home. The glass surface exhibits historical patination and signs of age, while the painted wooden frame shows a textured, distressed character that suits the antique print.

FAQs

Reverse glass printing is a technique where an engraved paper print is transferred face-down onto glass, treated to make the paper translucent, and then coloured from behind to produce a luminous framed image.

These pieces were created using flat plate glass, paper engravings, oil paints, and varnishes, often housed in moulded timber or gesso frames with metallic foil accents.

Authentic period examples display natural age-related oxidisation, slight flaking or crackle to the pigments on the reverse side, and period-correct glass featuring slight distortions or air bubbles.

Display the artwork alongside neutral textured walls, antique timber furniture, or as part of a gallery wall to blend classical figurative art with modern aesthetic schemes.

Dust the front frame and glass gently with a dry microfibre cloth; avoid applying liquid cleaners directly to the glass surface to prevent moisture from seeping behind the frame edge and damaging the backing paint.
